Mean, Median & Range with Lists

Compute data-set statistics instantly using Desmos lists.

The Desmos trick

Type a data set as a list using curly braces, then use Desmos's built-in statistics functions — mean(), median(), and stdev() — to get the answer in one line, with range computed as max() minus min().

  • Type a list with curly braces: L = {4, 8, 2, 9, 5}
  • mean(L) and median(L) return the average and median instantly
  • stdev(L) returns the standard deviation
  • There's no built-in range function — type max(L) - min(L) directly
